Give them £25m + Hernandez and we have done some good business. Not the end of the world if his knee is still shady at that price.

We need to get rid of Cleverley because if he is there, the temptation to play him will remain. Kagawa has never been as good as he was at Dortmund and Mata is much better in that position and we have Januzaj who should be backup.

Welbeck should be shipped out because he is never going to come good. Wilson looks like a cracking prospect and I would rather see him given a chance than Welbeck constantly disappointing.

totally agree with above.

Best business United can do before the window shuts is get Welbeck and Cleverly out the door, even if no-one else comes in!!

Also hope the rumours that Villa have had a bid for Cleverley accepted are true. I'd pay them to take him, just get rid of him.

Dortmund interested in Kagawa again, too.

Started seeing rumours that Utd are thinking about Cavalho as backup if Vidal bid goes south , not sure how accurate this is

If we get rid of Cleverley and Welbeck (and Ando) then thats fantastic


(yeah Fellaini got injured just as Benitez was going to take him off us on loan )

Fellaini won't be sold while he is injured so we have him till at least January. I doubt we will offload Welbeck or Cleverley this window either. I think that Hernandez might go but thats about it.

This is what happens when you have players that are overpaid for their ability. Overpaying very good players isn't such an issue. Overpaying crap players makes them very hard to move on.

Im sure sugar daddy can pay that (somewhere offshore of course) if push comes to shove :D

Hopefully so! :D

Di Marzio is reporting that Chelsea are paying a proportion of Torres' remaining contract wages (i.e. the £16m figure that was thrown about) in order to push the deal through.

He's been an expensive mistake, for sure. If we keep him on the books he will still be an expensive mistake for two more years, and taking up a valuable "foreign player" slot while he's at it. Better to get rid of him now while we have the chance IMO, even if it costs a fair chunk of the wages he'd extract if he stayed. I wish him all the best at Milan - hopefully the Italian league will suit him better.
 
Not really sure where Vidal would fit in Madrid's side so hopefully it isn't true.

I would have thought they would have Kroos,Modric, bale,Ronaldo, Rodriguez and Benzema as their first team midfield and forward line up and i can't see any of those (including Vidal) not being considered a starting first team player.
 
I wish they unveiled players like they do statues. Sheet over their head, whip it off when they are ready.
 
Di Maria press conference now.

Manchester United ‏@ManUtd
BREAKING: Angel Di Maria will wear the no.7 shirt at #mufc.

Shocker! :p

Alonso is going to Bayern they need a top quality high workrate player like Vidal and they have the money and willingness to take a punt. So what i would expect is an evolution to a strikerless 4-3-3 formation with the 3 golden hens up front Ronaldo James Bale and Vidal anchoring Kroos and Modric? It does seem like a flimsy lineup to be fair but the attacking flair is immense.

Or they go to a diamond with 2 up top, James in behind. Modric/Kroos/Vidal as the central 3..

Good but hamstrings seem to reoccur very very often once you get one.

Look at guys like Smalling, Fabregas had the issue for over a season at Arsenal before he left and got over it shortly after being at Barca. Messi did his sometime last Feb/march or so and it troubled him and effected his game right through to the world cup final. He finally at the weekend looked like the old Messi, not the goals but the movement throughout. He was involved over 90 minutes which he hasn't been since the injury, he was chasing players down and sprinting much much more frequently.

Ronaldo did his hamstring and like Messi it's hurting his overall performances and causing him to miss games aswell.

Costa did his hamstring in what April or so, they rushed him back and he broke down in the final games of the season, was no where near ready. Managed to play for Spain and last the games but looked no where near as mobile or energetic as usual, same as Messi/Ronaldo.

It seems to take anything from 6-18 months for a hamstring to get to the point that you aren't constantly reinjuring it and it's not effecting your game while you aren't playing.

Costa was a risk in that sense, he looked to have good movement in preseason/first two games, but they probably should have rested him more. I think it's where after it reoccurs 2-3 times you get the player starting to play more carefully which makes them play worse... then they get reinjured anyway.

In that sense Chelsea needed a quality back up, though I think Fabregas could be a great option there. Good goals/shots ratio for Barca,(excellent in two seasons, decent last season), the only thing stopping him scoring 20+ a year in each season was that he only took 45-55 shots, his job was still primarily to give the ball to others. He can do the same role though, bring in all of Chelsea's wide/central attacking players and set them up with chance after chance, or take more chances himself.

Didnt matter how good a pre season I had, or how much sprint training or distance training I did, I would screw one or both hamstrings in the first match of every season without fail after the first time I tore them

Would then take a good 2 to 3 weeks to calm down where I could play again.
Of course the reoccurring injuries where just pulls (the first were tears), but you are right, they just keep coming back.
 
I still think he should stay because him and Herrera were to offer us rotation of the same kind of deep tiki taka player in the midfield trio. I expected Mata to be the central with either Tom or Ander on the left or right and a player like Vidal in there.


But Di Maria actually changes all of this and leaves Mata/Ander instead with no room for everyone. I do not even know what LVG intends his strongest 11 to be anymore it seems like they have torn up the plans and are taking whatever comes along. Di Maria Mata Vidal is this the ideal midfield? Or is it Herrera Mata Vidal with Di Maria playing a Robben role as one of the two strikers? At least we could sell Hernandez and Welbeck this way and leave us with Rooney, Van Persie, Wilson and Di Maria as options.



That could be good and sell Hernandez to Juventus and nail Vidal and sell Welbeck to Chelsea?

I agree absolutely.

They along with Fletcher, bring absolutely nothing to the team, so might as well just no be there.
If they are not there, they cant play.
